Ac-CoA carboxylase inhibitor / Interferes with fatty acid synthase via inhibition of acetyl Co-A carboxylase (ACC1)1. Induces apoptosis in a variety of tumor cell lines2,3. Stimulates neurite outgrowth and neuronal differentiation in rat pheochromocytoma cells4. Impairs glucose-stimulated insulin secretion after chronic treatment5.
